Okay, today I'm showing something quite opposite from yesterdays thoughts of rainbows and chocolate. Life challenges us from time to time and even chocolate has it's limits. You know when you need to find your inner strength and believes to cope.

And if you wonder, no, everything is good in my life and I'm looking forward to celebrate the arrival of spring at Thursday evening. In Sweden we do it with bonfires and choral music. It's quite magic.

Good morning sweet stampers! Hope you're well and if you're not well, I certainly hope that you'll feel better soon. If you like nursery rhymes and songs you'll be smiling in a minute. We're having a new adorable theme at Sweet Stampin', I can sing a rainbow. I listened to the song whilst crafting and I believe that the card reflects it. All those children singing!

We're being sponsored by Wild Orchid Craft this week, please check our blog for all the details and the teams colourful projects.

Thank you so much for visiting, it means the world! Remember that you can't see the rainbow if there isn't rain. And if there's too much rain, you always have chocolate :) That's my life philosophy in a nutshell!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I've been tidying up and planting seeds at my tiny planting lot. So I went for flowers for my card, but I must say that the red colours aren't really that bright IRL. It must be the Glossy Accents reflecting some of the light. I'll see if I can take a better pic.

Today I got a very splattery card to show. We've had fresh gale and I went to a gallery with a dear friend to see paintings of an artist, Emil Nolde, who's called the storm catcher. Perfect inspiration for these challenges:

I used a Dust-Off can to move the water colour around. I've been drooling over dry water colour mediums, DH found a shop that sells them in 700 g packages, ha ha, imagine the amount of cards I could create!

I searched google to get inspiration for a black and white card and found a lovely piece, but when I began stamping it became something completely different. The sentiment says that it is always darkest before the dawn in Swedish.

I would like to join Crafty Calendar with this card, they want to see a sentiment.

I would like to enter Less Is More with this card, they want to see predominantly black and white. I can also see that I need to clean my stamp positioner, it leaves a thin line. Life is quite good when there are only small issues like that.

Thank you so much for visiting! Hope you've had a lovely Easter weekend, tomorrow it's all work again, but time to play a bit at the evening. See you soon again!
